Use after stir-frying with vinegar.
Sweet, neutral, warm, bitter, non-toxic. [Sanleng] disperses all blood stasis and opens various qi stagnations. It possesses the ability to unblock menstruation and induce abortion, and excels in relieving pain and reducing swelling.
For accumulated masses and solidified knots, there is no other remedy; for hard sores and swellings, without this herb, efficacy is lacking.
It is found in Jingxiang, Jianghuai, Jinan, Heshan, etc., mostly growing in wasteful ponds, marshes, and wetlands. In spring, it grows in clusters; in summer and autumn, it sends up stems, from the tips of which several leaves sprout again. The flowers, numbering six or seven, are finely fragmented into spikes, yellowish-purple in color, containing fine seeds. Its stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits all have three edges, similar to those of Xiangfu (Cyperus Rotundus, Cyperi Rhizoma), but larger. Its roots have many fibrous roots; after scraping off the skin, they resemble crucian carp. Nowadays, what is used worldwide is the red cattail root from Huainan, which is extremely hard, and its stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits no longer have three edges. Carved into fish shapes due to historical deviations, distinctions are no longer made.

Grows everywhere. Leaves resemble old chives but are harder, with edges, usable for raincoats. In May and June, a single stem emerges, hollow with three edges; at the tip, several leaves reappear, blooming blue flowers into spikes resembling millet, containing fine seeds. Roots have fibers, under which tubers form, reproducing cyclically. Mostly grows in fields. Harvested in February and August.
